Very pleasant Japanese restaurant. They cook, Teppanyaki-style, at your table. It's some tasty stuff and for what you get, the price is reasonable. The building looks old and run-down from the outside but when you enter, it's like walking into a small pocket of Japan. Sushi bar. Take-out available. Reservations recommended.

Wendy's
4850 Clifton Hill
(905) 358-4789‎

Normal Wendy's menu, however not normal Wendy's prices. There is no value menu, and expect everything you're used to ordering being about $2 extra. Also expect a 5-10 minute line. That said, there are great things about this Wendy's; Plenty of comfortable seating; Clean bathrooms; and most importantly a great view of Clifton Hill.

Tim Horton's
4950 Clifton Hill

Great breakfast options, normal inexpensive prices. Some hotels don't offer breakfast, or the breakfast included is terrible, in which case Tim Horton's is a great option and won't break the bank. Also worth mentioning, the lines move quite quickly, so don't be discouraged by a lengthy line. Breakfast for 3 costs $12.50.
